马来人主权?

拜託,什么时代了?恐龙都已经绝种了,却还有人在搞这一套东东。

如果真的有一个族群是主人,那么,其他族群是什么?

僕人?还是奴隶?

简直是发春秋大梦。

世界上真有这个东西吗?

宪法里没有,党纲里也没有,文献里也找不到。

始作俑者是马哈迪时代,一个叫阿都拉阿末的政客胡扯出来的歪论。

1986年,这名巫统吉兰丹国拉那前议员,也是敦拉萨时代的旧臣,在新加坡发表了马来人主权(Ketuanan Melayu)的演讲。

很快的,巫统採用了这套论述,从原本的“捍卫马来人地位”,扩张成为“马来人主权地位”。

马哈迪利用“主权论”狭隘偏激排他的思维,来强化巫统政权的合理性,建立他个人唯我独尊的地位。

然而,这种危险的主张,却分化了不同族群的人民,破坏了国家的和谐。

80年代以来,族群之间趋於冷漠、隔阂,各种矛盾涌现,政策偏差层出不穷,这和阿都拉阿末的歪论,以及马哈迪的心计,脱离不了关係。

人民被主权论绑架了20年,野心家利用它横行霸道,搞到大家怨声载道。

直到3月8日,很多人民终於忍无可忍,对这种族论述作出反击。

到此,马来人主权论,可以说已经破產。

不过,还是有一些种族论的孤臣,抓住主权论的尾巴,摇呀摇呀,希望挽回一些注意。

人民可以嗤之以鼻,久而久之,它就会自行蒸发。

沙里尔还把主权论和苏丹制掛鉤,做主权论的辩护士;他把人民当傻瓜,还是他自己是傻瓜?

苏丹权力是君主立宪制的一部份,在马来西亚宪政体制中,它有多重功能,包括发挥制衡作用。

把苏丹制等同於马来人主权,头脑太简单。沙里尔应该向霹雳摄政王拉惹纳兹林好好请教,才来开口。

A Bankrupt Supremacy
By TAY TIAN YAN, Sin Chew Daily

Malay Supremacy? Oh please, even the dinosaur is extinct, how come some people are still playing with this issue?

If a racial group is the true beneficiary, then what about other races? Servants? Or slaves?

What an unrealistic dream! Is there such a thing in the world? We can't find it in the Constitutions, party platforms or any records.

The initiator is a politician called Abdullah Ahmad, who raised the issue during former Prime Minister Datuk Dr Mahathir Mohamad's era.

In 1986, former Umno Kok Lanas, Kelantan MP Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad spoke of Malay Supremacy (Ketuanan Melayu) in his speech at Singapore Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS).

Soon after, Umno adopted such discourse and turned it from the original meaning of “defending Malay's position” to “Malay supremacy”. Mahathir took the advantage of it to strengthen the reasonableness of Umno's regime and built up his own arrogant status.

However, such a dangerous idea has polarized people from different races and undermined the national harmony. Since the 1980s, indifferences, misunderstandings and contradictions between racial groups, as well as endless deviant policies were indeed closely related to Abdullah Ahmad's remarks and Mahathir's planning.

The people have been restrained by the supremacy for 20 years. Those with evil intentions took advantage of it to ride roughshod over others and made all suffer. Until 8 March 2008, many could not stand any longer, they launched a counter attack.

And now, Malay Supremacy is bankrupt. However, some politicians are still playing with the issue, hoping to attract some attention. The people may just ignore them as they will disappear after some time.

Umno's Supreme Council Member Datuk Shahrir Ahmad even linked Malay Supremacy thinking to the Sultan system. Did he take the people for a fool? Or was he himself the fool?

The power of the Sultan is part of constitutional monarchy, and it has multiple functions in Malaysia, including to act as a check and balance.

Shahrir was too simple-minded to equate the Sultanate system with Malay Supremacy. He should learn from Crown Prince of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Steven Shah before he starts talking.
